That M&G is crazy looking. What's the story behind that unique knife?

Thank you everyone, appreciate the likes. John, apparently It was designed specifically for grafting Pecan trees although I guess you could graft any nut or fruit tree with it. There are a couple YouTube videos showing how,

Thanks for posting that video, Augie. I find purpose built knives made for specific tasks fascinating. Like fleams and timber scribes, etc. really cool to learn of a new one. (actually an old one, but new to me.)
Thank you Harry- that's extremely nice of you to say, I take my good looks in my stride.
Harry I am not too sure- the Cane is made out of Bamboo- one thing that I saw when I first picked it up was the Colouring of the Bamboo- it was old! when you see old Saya ( the Scabbard for the Katana / Wakizashi ) that has not been laquered at all- originally it looks very white and clean - over the years Centuries it gets a deep mellow look- somewhat like Stag, This Cane is a very old colour even for Cane - and this was noted by the chap whom looked at it.
Ok, enough of the Cane or I fear I will receive a few lashes from the mods, so I will add some old Knife content....
A very nice Older Primble, love the Bolsters and Bone, nice details everywhere- nice Swage work too on this Knife - a real little beauty...
Good looking knife, and I love those slanted bolsters.
Neat Pecan Budding knife. Maher & Grosh offered these from about 1927 up to WWII.
Interesting to read in the description that M&G claims to be the "sole makers and distributors" of that model.

Thank you Herder Sir!- actually.. when the Knife is in the hand- you really get to appreciate it- there are a lot of good things going on with this Knife- The Slanted Bolsters as you say make it even more appealing!
I've been away from this thread for too long and that pecan budding knife shook the doldrums from me. Having just finished cataloging my Winterbottom clad Queens, I'v turned some attention to "regular" bone Queens. Here's a Schatt & Morgan equal end with tip bolsters (1902-1928) and a Queen #21 (1945-1955) that Queen sometimes cataloged as a sleeveboard, but it seems senatorial to me.

Nothing regular about those old bone pen knives Stuart! I love both of them but the tip bolstered one....I've been away from this thread for too long and that pecan budding knife shook the doldrums from me.

Actually watched a pretty much mint Queen 21 on the bay go for a fair price a few days ago but am too broke so all I could do was watchNothing regular about those old bone pen knives Stuart! I love both of them but the tip bolstered one....
Thanks, Vince. And thank you, Nick. You are looking at that #21 here and now I'm broke. Merry merry to y'all.

Thanks, guys, and I gotcha, Nick. To keep the pic posting going, here's a middle-aged Primble 4953 jack (1940-1968):

who mentioned enjoying seeing unusual knives, here's a pair of fleams. The stainless one is an Ulster 13-C, the brass one is unmarked.
